Cannondale's attention to detail on the Topstone is excellent, and they've made some really interesting design choices to stand out in an increasingly-crowded category. Apparently they've succeeded -- the Topstone 105 has been the third most popular bike on all of 99 Spokes this year.

Descends well
Good power transfer
No mount points on the fork

Fast, light gravel ripper with top-notch equipment and useful suspension tech
Suspension a genuine benefit off road
Fast and fun ride

The new Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty is basically the same as the standard Topstone Carbon, but now with a suspension fork and a switch to 650b wheels and tires. The changes sound modest on paper but the difference you feel in the saddle is far greater than you might expect, and while that Lefty Oliver […]
Exceptional ride quality front and rear, well-tuned front suspension fork, nimble handling.
Lots of Cannondale quirkiness, heavy.
